Default a. start

I'm dirty, my fingers are aching and I came close to cutting a vein when my drill got caught in my glove and quickly twisted up. Must have been a good day in the shed.
It's snail's pace but it is progressing.

Ryan where are the pictures? When I was at school back in the dark ages it was drummed into us, no gloves near any rotating tool.

No pics of the near miss rob, just some bruising.
I was out in the shed again today, more work on the brakes. Using nos shoes to replace the buggered ones, one needed some slight mods for the handbrake holes. These were the ones I bought in nar nar goon some years ago.
Going to replace the wheel bearings front drivers side. Anyone have the part numbers at hand? Timken parts. I'm just not totally happy with their free play so will put new ones in.

Ryan,

Somewhere here on MLU, there is an excel spreadsheet entitled something like 'modern part numbers for CMPs'.

I'll see if I can find it & let you know.

your a beautiful man tony.

I'll upload some pics when I can but I've recently rebuilt the brake cylinders on the F15 with new parts from MACs.
For anyone that may need them the part nos were:
front 1 3/8in kit 91T 2221
rear 1 1/2in kit 91T 2128
I also ended up buying a master cylinder rebuild kit from MACs too instead of salvaging bits off an old wreck. The part number was 91T 2004 A

Default pics

Here's some pics from today.
A couple of NOS brake shoes, one front, one rear.
As I said earlier the rear one needed a hole drilled for the handbrake gear and some grinding to its mid section. All fitted nicely then. It's didn't have Ford stamped on it so it may have been a chev shoe?
The front one was a NOS Ford shoe.
